The deadline for emissions reduction targets ahead of the Paris COP at year’s end was yesterday, and both the US and Russia left it late to submit pledges.

As expected, The White House said it would cut greenhouse gases by between 26 and 28% from its 2005 level by 2025, reports the BBC and everyone else. This pledge, however, only represents a 14% reduction from 1990 emissions levels.

Russia, though they missed the deadline by a whisker, also submitted yesterday. It promised a reduction of between 25 and 30% from 1990 levels, but with a pretty major caveat: “subject to the maximum possible account of absorbing capacity of forests.”

Only the EU, Norway, Switzerland and Mexico otherwise submitting on time, many of the world’s largest emitters – including China, India, Canada and Australia – have yet to pledge their climate goals, reports the FT.
